Beatnik Poetry Slam – Ice

Tonight’s special guest Marvin Suggs, resplendent in a very sparkly vest, stands behind the Mupphaphone, mallet at the ready.
Who knows what excitement giddy-ifies his brain? No one can tell from his expression, as he is a consummate performer.

The stage goes dark. A single burning diamond white LED picks out El Guapo as he strides to the microphone, his beret cutting a swirling path through the cloud from his clove cigarette.

Ice

Thanks for that Guapo! The Muppet Show was one of my favorite shows when I was in college. There was always a race between the Muppet fans and the 60 Minutes fans on Sunday nights after dinner to see who got to one of the few televisions in the dorm. Sadly, the 60 Minutes fans won that race most of the time.

I see that you are a big fan of the Muppets
well I don’t mind, after all there is a Miss. Piggy
on my street, a couple of Kermit’s and if you
saw the Animal you would think him a clone
from the show 🙂 lol Have fun Muppeting Guap 🙂

I am now because I googled him. I forgot to write back, because I was watching a bunch of the videos and then was distracted by something else. I think some of these missed Muppets were because they starred before my kid was born.
